To all whom it may/concern! 7 Be it known-that 1 LoUIs MnYERs, a

citizen of thejU'nited States of America, residing at Brooklyn}, New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Garment HangerS'upports, of whichthe; following is a specifidatiorip" 5 "This invention; relates-{to garment hanger supports.

Theo'bjec't of the invention isto provide a two point garment hanger supportparticularly adapted for .use-with"what is commonly termed a wardrobe trunk) which is characterized by 1two vertically d sposed hinged sections, one of which 8801110118 1S providedwith-a hinged top.

'More specifically, an ob'ect of the inven-;

tion is to provide-a pair of parallel garment hanger-supports, having hinged sections, so

that they may be extended beyond the front line of the section of the trunk to which they areattached topermit the ready. removal of a garment hanger supported thereby.

Amara specific object is to-providea lock-* ing means for the pivoted extensions,--which may be operated by pressure at the front end of the extension.

The invention consists of the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, is illustrated a form of embodiment of the invention, in which drawings similar reference characters designate corresponding parts, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view; n

Fig. 2 is a vertical section, taken approximately on line 22 of Fig. 4, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section, taken approximately on line 22 of: Fig. 4, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows,

the top of the trunk and the pivoted extensions of the rods being shown in closed or folded position;

Fig. 4' is a fragmentary detail in plan showing a rod and its-supports; and,

Fig. 5 is afragmentary detail in side elevation of a portion of one of the pivoted extensions of the rods and its immediately connected parts. 7

Referring to the drawings, 1 and 2 designate respectively the two hingedly connected body parts of a trunk, the section 1 thereof being provided with a hinged top 3,

all of common and well k-nown construetion. f Secured to thes'ection '1 adjacent its up per end is a U-shaped metal strip4, provided at itsvrear end withlugs5 and at its sideswith lugs 6.

Carried by the lugs 5j and (L adjacent the opposite-sides of the: section 1, are rods 7 which may be secured to the lugs in anyo'rdinary mechanicalway. 5 The rodsfi are provided with pivoted extensions 8, bearing at their outer ends slidable caps '9. The

slidable caps 9 are maintained in an extended position by means of. coiled sprin s 10 "and are connected to the forwarden s of bars 11. The bars 11 are maintained in slidable; relation to the extensions 8, as by means of rivets 12 working through'slots 13 inthe bars and having their inner ends secured to brackets 14, carried on the extensions .8. a

'The'inner ends of thebarsll are provided with beveled faces 15 arranged to abut the beveledfaces: 16 of down-turned'offset ends '17 of'locking bars 18. The locking bars 18 are pivoted as at 19 to the side lugs 6 on the frame 1, and the forward ends of the bars 18 are arranged to interlock with shoulders 20 formed on the upper surfaces of the brackets 14. g

With the parts in the position shown in Fig. 3, the extensions 8 may be rocked upon their pivots to a horizontal position so that the overturned ends 17 of the bars 18 engage behind the shoulders 20 and maintain the extensions 18 in extended'position. Pressure against the caps 9 will overcome the tension of the springs .10 and force the bars 11 backward so that their beveled'faces 1'5 strike thebeveled faces 16.

of the bars 8 effecting the release of the ends 17 of the bars from the shoulders 20 and will permit the extensions 18 to drop to the vertical position shown in Fig. '3, so 7 that the hinged sections 1 and 2 of the trunk may be brought together;

Having thus fully described the invention,

what is claimedas new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:

1-. A arment hanger support comprising the com ination of a-pair of supported par- 7 allel rods each provided with a pivoted extension, locking means for the extensions,

and means projecting beyond the ends of the extensions for unlocking the locking means.

2. A garinent hanger support corn'prising the combination of a pair of rods each hav ing a pivoted extension, meansor locking the extensions in a horizontal position and means slidably carried by the extensions for unlocking the locking means.
